isaiah Really sweet album. Especially love the instrumentals, well done stuff. Enjoyed Daylight Songs, Dawn, and Test 5 the most, but the whole album is killer. Favorite track: Daylight Songs.

Vast 05:14
Running on highways Tumbling through open plains I’m trying to find the hiding links The secrets fallen down the sink Seeing the bright lights Cold and color overload The blurry faces move above Oh god, I hope they’ve got some love For me Or who I’ll be Walking a wire weave Signals fill the open air They’re trying to find a hiding place The solace in an empty space Running through hallways Fumbling the trapdoor keys I’m peering through the floorboard cracks And someday soon I’ll crawl right back To see Who I’ll be And while the time is winding down The world is waiting to be found It seems the answer should be bright as day But all the while they hold their ground They’re reaching out to touch the sound That calls them on to find a way Steering through snowstorms Peering up to find the eye And fearing what we do not know That leaves its trace in trails of snow Running on railways Wandering the winding lines We’re waking slow and running late Oh god, that train’s not gonna wait For me Oh who’ll I be?

Kingdoms 05:08
Emperor, oh emperor Where have you gone? And when did you become a secret to me? I hear you as you sing in tune With some distant song I try to sing but you can see right through me As kingdoms come undone Emperor, oh emperor What have we done? We’re lost in ways we never thought we would be I think that this is what she meant When she said “crash and burn” But we could never see the future, could we? And I can finally see The castles made of sand And I sit and watch them wash away We’ll rule each other’s kingdoms For a while Share our songs and sing them For a year Now through the glass I watch you In denial I am falling down Are you coming ‘round? And maybe when that strife was through At last it did come If only I were waiting for epiphanies But emperor, oh emperor We’re already gone And flying far away from that sad city Are you coming ‘round? You’re not coming ‘round

In the corner of my eye You are swimming in the deep And I find things to distract me From my urge to fall asleep And you’re climbing towards the diving board Well this can only end one way And in the corner of my eye You are carrying routines And I’m sitting here unmoving Hoping you don’t make a scene As you try to make your dream to wake Well you remind me of myself ‘Cause in the corner of your eye I am shrinking to a speck And I feel my stomach drop Every time you turn your neck And I wonder how we fell so far From things I know I heard you say But now my anticipation Turns to lack of appetite And in the corner of your eye I am just a paler white And I don’t know where the hell we are I guess you like it best that way In the corner of this room Is a piano old and worn We don’t play our favorite songs For they sound oh so forlorn And all the things we thought were here to stay Now are falling through the cracks And in the minds of you and me Are only thoughts of what we lack But maybe all is for the best And all I do is hold you back
5.
One hundred pairs of calloused feet Tonight shall walk this lighted street And all around the mountains sleep As we begin to wake They’ve all come to retie their nets Relearn the things that they forget They’ve made their way through courses set To secret hideaways The fire grows from spirit sparks As ‘round we circle in the dark And songs are growing from our hearts As time is growing near And eyes are wet and hugs are long For knowledge that we’ll soon be gone But we’ll not forget these daylight songs That guide us back to here

In another town Will the blurry faces ask you if you’re feeling down? As you move towards the city square without a sound As you try to find your grand designs you look around Oh but all your schemes, my friend, it seems they’ve disappeared And so you’re waiting here Wondering about the others And in the theater shows How lonely do you feel among the numbered rows? All these shifting floors and hidden doors they call below Do they hold the rooms you knew so many years ago? When it seemed the world you loved had been replaced Find it anyplace Find it anyplace When you finally reach out from the back I’ll sew up all your wholes and halves And I’ll follow all your charts and graphs In my soul, yes, I want you to laugh Did it change again? Did your shapes within the shifting rearrange again? Well you dry your tears and hide your fears but now and then You just give in and hold your knees against your head And all the light upon you seems to pass right through But if you only knew That you could hear your favorite colors And through another door Through the ivy covered mazes past the corner stores Well I know you don’t believe that you’ve been here before Surrounded by uncharted lives you seem so sure That all the things you loved have been replaced Find it anyplace And have you seen the river? I can take you there tonight If you'd like to smile Would you like to smile? Follow down the lighted street And slip between the gates It's just another mile And all the while you wait for your embrace Waiting for your place While we wait for memories to come back I'll sew up all your wholes and halves And I'll follow to the moon and back In my soul, yes, I want you to laugh

Dawn 04:31
Wrap me up in blankets you have loved You and I are floating To a world we’re dreaming of The air is soft and still The feeling does not fade And there is time for all the plans we’ve made Seek me in a dream and when you wake Meet me on the mountain as dawn it breaks Tell me all the thoughts you invent Sing me all your songs If you find the time well spent The night is fading fast We are the lingering stars And I can see just how real you are Seek me in a dream and when you wake Meet me on the mountain as dawn it breaks
